1968 Meath Intermediate Football Championship


The 1968 Meath Intermediate Football Championship is the 42nd edition of the Meath GAA's premier club Gaelic football tournament for intermediate graded teams in County Meath, Ireland. The tournament consists of 18 teams. The championship starts with a group stage and then progresses to a knock out stage.
No team was regraded from the S.F.C. the previous year.
This year marked United Gaels first year in existence as a result of the amalgamation of Junior 'A' clubs Drumconrath and Meath Hill.
Dunshaughlin and Athboy were promoted after claiming the 1967 Meath Junior Football Championship title and Junior 'A' Divisional runners-up spot respectively. Dunderry were also promoted after their application to be promoted was granted by the County Board.
At the end of the season United Gaels applied to be regraded to the 1969 J.F.C.
On 20 October 1968, Slane claimed their 1st Intermediate championship title when they defeated Bohermeen 1-9 to 1-7 in the final in Pairc Tailteann.
